Tyre fitting

Post by freeze »

My bike failed its MOT yesterday for the tyres. Thought the back tyre was quite close to the limit but I didn't realise that the front had a bald patch on it and nearly to canvas!!!! :oops: :oops: Anyway have ordered some tyres but can't remember where we had a deal to get them fitted near Newton Abbot/Exeter? Anybody able to let me know?

You could try Ray at Teign Tyres in behind Gormans or AMS beside National Tyres in Newton Abbot, CMS, Pro-Tyre or BikeWorx in Exeter ..... such choices, who's lucky fella :wink: :))

With regards to tire fitting is it easy to do with a bead breaker etc or something better left to he professionals?

I'm not so worried about getting the tyres on and off as I am about balancing. How accurate does it need to be?

Paying £50 to get mine done today as my paddock stand is knackered so couldn't take the wheels off.
